Volunteer Stories from Volunteers all over the World

Finding the right project or a trustworthy volunteer agency to go with can be difficult.

We want to help
- with volunteer stories,
submitted by volunteers who have been there and done it.

Volunteering abroad or at home can be great fun and a valuable experience. But one needs to find a project that fits.

We try to help to make a more informed decision about where and with what organization to go.

True Volunteer Stories

Read real volunteer stories, written by former volunteers. We only check them for grammar otherwise they appear here as written by former volunteers. No volunteer organization or project can interfere and make themselves look better than they are.

Before you decide to go with a certain volunteer organization or help at a volunteer project, have a look what others have to say about their experience.

Get a first impression on volunteering in general or an idea what you would like to do - or maybe find out if volunteering is for you.

Latest Volunteer Experiences

The stories are sorted by country, each story also has information about the project and kind of volunteer work involved.

Former volunteers, submit your volunteer experience for others to read. Help them to decide by providing first hand impressions.

Please send us your stories and tell others, too.
